Padding the totals: highest percentage of low-leverage RBI.
from HighHeatStats

Here?s a very quick post that I still think you?ll find interesting. I found the top 100 players of all time in terms of RBI from low-leverage situations. Hank Aaron is #1, as you might expect, since he?s pretty much #1 in anything RBI-related. Then, I calculated the fraction those low-leverage RBI represented of their total career RBI. Let?s call this the ?Alex Rodriguez RBI? stat, since he?s so often accused of driving in runs when they don?t really matter.

Click through for the large table of how these 100 guys stack up.

This table shows the player?s rank in raw total low-leverage RBI, followed by his name, his raw low-leverage RBI total, his raw overall RBI total, and the percentage of low-leverage RBI.

pretty ugly game!

thankfully it's spring training.....

JV was saying in one the post game recaps that he always has a clunker like this in ST. being wild, no command, and is fine afterwards.

Detroit Tigers notebook: Jhonny Peralta misses game due to allergic reaction to clam chowder.
from Mlive

Allergic reaction sidelines Peralta on Monday.
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Just as the Tigers were getting their roster back to full health, they lost Jhonny Peralta on Monday to a food allergy. Thankfully, it sounds more like a fluke mishap than anything that should linger.
"He ate clam chowder, and he's allergic to it," Leyland said.
The incident happened after pregame batting practice. Peralta was written into the lineup at shortstop, but he was scratched about a half-hour before first pitch. Danny Worth, who had been scheduled to start at third, moved over to short, with Matt Tuiasosopo entering the lineup.
According to Leyland, it was an innocent mistake, though he has no idea how it happened.
"He didn't realize it was clam chowder," Leyland said, "until he ate some of it and didn't feel too good and he went in the training room sick. I don't expect it to be anything of a lasting thing. I doubt that he'll be eating any clam chowder in the near future."

Unfavorable results as command escapes Verlander.
LAKELAND, Fla. -- There's that moment for a pitcher when he releases a pitch he knows is bad, watching as it heads towards the plate, hoping the batter doesn't hit it but knowing it's probably headed out if he does. This was kind of one of those moments for Justin Verlander, and yet it was so much worse.

He didn't have command for the vast majority of his 61 pitches to the Mets on Monday, including the last. It was a fastball in to Jordany Valdespin, who had homered on Verlander's third pitch the day, and Verlander he had gotten it a little too far in.

Verlander did not know that Valdespin was going to square up his body and stand directly facing him as he let the ball go.

"He took a hack at the first pitch. He already hit one bomb," Verlander said. "And then the next one, he just totally squared at me, and I'm like, 'Oh God, this isn't going to be good.' Right out of the hand, it's like, 'Oh, [crap], that is right at his ... '"

The ball hit Valdespin in his groin, sending him to the ground in agony, right as it hit 94 mph on the Joker Marchant Stadium radar gun.

Not only had Verlander never done that before, he had never seen it. Nor had pitching coach Jeff Jones, who spent years working with wild pitchers at Triple-A Toledo before getting his shot in the big leagues.

Eventually, Valdespin was able to walk off the field, and manager Jim Leyland came out around the same time to pull Verlander. Once Ike Davis singled in two runs a couple batters later, Verlander had been charged with five runs on four hits over 4 1/3 innings. He struck out three batters, walked two, hit two more, and reached at least four 3-0 counts.

Verlander is usually good for a rough start every spring. His agent, Verlander said, calls him the Farmers Almanac because it usually falls on schedule. But this start was bad even by those standards.

"My rhythm was off, and that kind of led to everything," Verlander said. "Fastball control was not good. Changeup was bad. Slider was bad. Breaking ball was all right, which is odd."
